Keep in mind that a healer could also be a doctor. So if there are statues of religious doctors with books, that could also qualify. Though that hasn't helped me much, so I don't know how that would help you. Also, a station could mean something other than a train station. For example, I tried looking for the "Stations of the Cross" (That didn't help me either).

I think the thing is, we need to actually answer the questions. We can't just go, "Oh, there's a statue of a holy healer with books, that must be where the piece is". The riddle tells us specifically to name the man and the books. The next question asks to name the three sisters. So if the questions do lead to a location, then the location may be an address, along the format of (Name) (Number) (Name) (Name) (Name). The man's name could be the street name, then the number could refer to the street number, and the next three names may give us the town and country. Although that's not looking to be the case. But we can probably figure it out better if we can find that holy healer.

If everyone would just agree with me, there would never be any problems.

FWIW my best guess yesterday was Dr. Jose Rizal. He had a religious upbringing, became a Dr. and wrote several books. His statue is next to Central station in Sydney and depicts him carrying a book. I tried emailing several responses but got the same automated reply each time. I am also unsure about the method to use the answers but am posting this in case it helps.

I asked James his opinion on this, as he is better at riddles than I am. Our searches for the answers proved futile. However, James believes that it may involve physically going to those locations and doing as the riddles ask. Counting the books and whatnot.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. And thank you for putting your time into this; we truly appreciate all of your efforts.

So yeah it's progress and that state library near St James Railway Station could be where I count the books of the identity of the Holy Healer or something along those lines.

While I appreciate the level of thought you are putting into this, I believe you may be overthinking things. From what I can tell, the agent's email is no longer set to an autoresponder. Perhaps you are supposed to email your answers to him.

Really? Mr. A is sending people to retrieve them already? Well, okay. I was under the impression it would take longer. It took a lot of effort to move these, you dig?

For the second, I don’t know man, have you been to that cemetery? I don’t think what you think is buried there is buried there.

As for your first answer… uh, Mr. A didn’t really set a clear policy on hints… I was under the impression that the people he sent would know to go to the station to figure it out. I don’t think he would want me just telling you.

My original email:

From what I understand you’re no longer automated, so I’ll provide my attempts at answers to your riddles.

One Troper suggested: "My guess: the man's name is the street, the books' number is the house number. The second riddle shows a more precise location.But my theory is that counting the books could be related to a state library near St James railway station?

Riddle 2:Once Saint Mary rested here, now in a wall remembered. Name for me three sisters near, rewards will be engendered.

Would this have anything to do with Mary MacKillop and her own three sisters Annie, Lexie, and Maggie, with a memorial of her in the Memorial Wall.And if you can provide any further clues that will also be very much appreciated.

As it seems Agent X doesn't know of recent events and as It seems I'll just have to go to the area which I'm guessing is St James Railway Station or Kings Cross to find anything further.

(Meta: The GMs don't want me finding it yet which is ok but I just want to know the location)

So far it's good progress.

I'll admit I'm a bit confused about number 1. St. James Boanerges the Greater, son of Zebedee, (after whom this station is named (my Internet digging revealed (i.e. Wikipedia(I love embedded brackets)))) is not by any means a healer. I agree with Wacky, it might not be a station. Also, surely there are other saint-named-stations in Sydney?

In life, he suffered from a sense of unreality, as do many Englishmen.

A film, a play, a musical, a commemorative portrait by Charles Bilich, and a Vatican Museum exhibition connected with Aboriginal art in her honour. If there is something in the Holy See, I feel very jealous of the metaguard who gets to go.

...Frankly, I'm fine with him not saying more about where/how he/his people found it for now if he doesn't want to; after all, none of us should be going for it until after the refics anyway and we don't want the Cabal to try. Once that's all done with we can press him for further explanation of his brilliance.

Why are we even arguing about a dead fictional dude and hypothetical ninjas?

Just to clarify - I was able to locate the piece without solving the riddles based on previous wall piece locations but it is not able to be retrieved until the riddles have been solved. The piece is safe for the time being until we can solve the riddles, and they are proving harder than I anticipated.

Interesting, why are the riddles necessary? Are you actually required to give the answers to someone?

If you ever need to ask the questions "Am I needed? Should I help them?" The answer is always yes. Always.

Anti-Sequence Breaking mechanism everyone. It's simple. We're not supposed to know where the piece is until we get the riddle right, so even if we can get to it, we need the "authorization" to access it. So to speak.

The same way Mr. A asked for a in-layar screenshot for one of the echoes, to make sure someone was actually there.

Okay, we need to solve these riddles NOW and get JR (or somebody else, but probably JR) to collect the wall piece. So... where are we? A healer/doctor/something who has books? A cemetery but I think we were casting doubt on that idea?

Never put off until tomorrow what you can put off until the day after.

OKAY GUYS. This has been brought up in the chatroom, but it needs to be said here.

With the arrival of Cthulhu, we need to obtain and scan that Wall Piece STAT.

JR-- I believe your email from X said you have to go to the station in order to get the answer for that part? So do you know which station for sure (with a statue of the 'holy healer'), or should we still be cracking our heads on that?

GuestBatman-- I know we can't get the piece from the location without the answers, but would you mind sharing the location anyways, now that it's urgent? I'm thinking we might be able to figure out the answers to the riddles by working backwards, since the answers are supposed to LEAD us to the location.

Well I'm the only one available so yeah me.

I just sen an email to Agent X asking for a further clue or riddle that can give us a solid answer and it better work.
